4 GENERAL RULES Microphone technique is largely a matter of personal taste whatever method sounds right the particular instrument, musician, and song is right. There is no one ideal microphone to use on any particular instrument. There is also no one ideal way to place a microphone. Place the microphone to get the sound you want. However, the desired sound can often be achieved more quickly and consistently by understanding basic microphone characteristics, sound-radiation properties of musical instruments, and acoustic fundamentals. Here are some suggestions to follow when miking musical instruments sound reincement. Try to get the sound source (instrument, voice, or amplifier) to sound good acoustically ( live ) bee miking it. Use a microphone with a frequency response that is limited to the frequency range of the instrument, if possible, or filter out frequencies below the lowest fundamental frequency of the instrument. To determine a good starting microphone position, try closing one ear with your finger. Listen to the sound source with the other ear and move around until you find a spot that sounds good. Put the microphone there. However, this may not be practical (or healthy) extremely close placement near loud sources. The closer a microphone is to a sound source, the louder the sound source is compared to reverberation and ambient noise. Also, the Potential Acoustic Gain is increased that is, the system can produce more level bee feedback occurs. Each time the distance between the microphone and sound source is halved, the sound pressure level at the microphone (and hence the system) will increase by 6 db. (Inverse Square Law) Drums 4
5 Place the microphone only as close as necessary. Too close a placement can color the sound source s tone quality (timbre), by picking up only one part of the instrument. Be aware of Proximity Effect with unidirectional microphones and use bass rolloff if necessary. Use as few microphones as are necessary to get a good sound. To do that, you can often pick up two or more sound sources with one microphone. Remember: every time the number of microphones doubles, the Potential Acoustic Gain of the sound system decreases by 3 db. This means that the volume level of the system must be turned down every extra mic added in order to prevent feedback. In addition, the amount of noise picked up increases as does the likelihood of interference effects such as comb-filtering. When multiple microphones are used, the distance between microphones should be at least three times the distance from each microphone to its intended sound source. This will help eliminate phase cancellation. For example, if two microphones are each placed one foot from their sound sources, the distance between the microphones should be at least three feet. (3 to 1 Rule) To reduce feedback and pickup of unwanted sounds: 1) place microphone as close as practical to desired sound source 2) place microphone as far as practical from unwanted sound sources such as loudspeakers and other instruments 3) aim unidirectional microphone toward desired sound source (on-axis) 4) aim unidirectional microphone away from undesired sound source (180 degrees off-axis cardioid, 126 degrees off-axis supercardioid) 5) use minimum number of microphones If the sound from your loudspeakers is distorted even though you did not exceed a normal mixer level, the microphone signal may be overloading your mixer s input. To correct this situation, use an in-line attenuator (such as the Shure A15AS), or use the input attenuator on your mixer to reduce the signal level from the microphone. 5
6 Seasoned sound engineers have developed favorite microphone techniques through years of experience. If you lack this experience, the suggestions listed on the following pages should help you find a good starting point. These suggestions are not the only possibilities; other microphones and positions may work as well or better your intended application. Remember Experiment and Listen! MICROPHONE POSITIONS In most sound reincement systems, the drum set is miked with each drum having its own mic. Using microphones with tight polar patterns on toms helps to isolate the sound from each drum. It is possible to share one mic with two toms, but then, a microphone with a wider polar pattern should be used. The snare requires a mic that can handle very high SPL, so a dynamic mic is usually chosen. To avoid picking up the hi-hat in the snare mic, aim the null of the snare mic towards the hi-hat. The brilliance and high frequencies of cymbals are picked up best by a flat response condenser mic. B A E B F H C G I D Front View I I OA G O F CH 6 E Top View
7 Microphone Placement Tonal Balance Comments 1 Overhead-Cymbals: One microphone over center of drum set, about 1 foot above drummer s head (Position A); or use two spaced or crossed microphones stereo (Positions A or B). 2 Snare drum: Just above top head at edge of drum, aiming at top head. Coming in from front of set on boom (Position C); or miniature microphone mounted directly on drum. Natural; sounds like drummer hears set Full, smooth Picks up ambience and leakage. For cymbal pickup only, roll off low frequencies. Boost at 10,000 Hz added sizzle. To reduce excessive cymbal ringing, apply masking tape in radial strips from bell to rim. Tape gauze pad or handkerchief on top head to tighten sound. Boost at 5,000 Hz attack, if necessary. 3 Bass drum (kick drum): Placing a pad of paper towels where the beater hits the drum will lessen boominess. If you get rattling or buzzing problems with the drum, put masking tape across the drum head to damp out these nuisances. Placing the mic off center will pick up more overtones. Remove front head if necessary. Mount microphone on boom arm inside drum a few inches from beater head, about 1/3 of way in from edge of head (Position D); or place surface-mount microphone inside drum, on damping material, with microphone element facing beater head. Full, good impact Put pillow or blanket on bottom of drum against beater head to tighten beat. Use wooden beater, or loosen head, or boost around 2,500 Hz more impact and punch. 4 Tom-toms: One microphone between every two tom-toms, close to top heads (Position E); or one microphone just above each tom-tom rim, aiming at top head (Position F); or one microphone inside each tom-tom with bottom head removed; or miniature microphone mounted directly on drum. Full, good impact Inside drum gives best isolation. Boost at 5,000 Hz attack, if necessary. 7
8 Microphone Placement Tonal Balance Comments 5 Hi-hat: Aim microphone down towards the cymbals, a few inches over edge away from drummer (Position G). Or angle snare drum microphone slightly toward hi-hat to pick up both snare and hi-hat. 6 Snare, hi-hat and hi-tom: Place single microphone a few inches from snare drum edge, next to hi-tom, just above top head of tom. Microphone comes in from front of the set on a boom (Position H). Natural, bright Natural Place microphone or adjust cymbal height so that puff of air from closing hi-hat cymbals misses mike. Roll off bass to reduce low-frequency leakage. To reduce hi-hat leakage into snare-drum microphone, use small cymbals vertically spaced 1/2 apart. In combination with Placements 3 and 7, provides good pickup with minimum number of microphones. Tight sound with little leakage. 7 Cymbals, floor tom and hi-tom: Using single microphone, place its grille just above floor tom, aiming up toward cymbals and one of hi-toms (Position I). Natural In combination with Placements 3 and 6, provides good pickup with minimum number of microphones. Tight sound with little leakage. 8 Suggested Placement Techniques Based on Quantity of Available Microphones One microphone: Use Placement 1. Placement 6 may work if the drummer limits playing to one side of the drum set. Two microphones: Placements 1 and 3; or 3 and 6. Three microphones: Placements 1, 2, and 3; or 3, 6, and 7. Four microphones: Placements 1, 2, 3, and 4. Five microphones: Placements 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. More microphones: Increase number of tom-tom microphones as needed. Use a small microphone mixer to submix multiple drum microphones into one channel.
9 Microphone Placement Tonal Balance Comments Timbales, congas, bongos: One microphone aiming down between pair of drums, just above top heads. Natural Provides full sound with good attack. Tambourine: One microphone placed 6 to 12 inches from instrument. Natural Experiment with distance and angles if sound is too bright. Steel Drums: Tenor, Second Pan, Guitar One microphone placed 4 inches above each pan. Microphone placed underneath pan. Cello, Bass One microphone placed 4-6 inches above each pan. Bright, with plenty of attack Natural Natural Allow clearance movement of pan. Decent if used tenor or second pans. Too boomy with lower voiced pans. Can double up pans to a single microphone. Xylophone, marimba, vibraphone: Two microphones aiming down toward instrument, about 1 1/2 feet above it, spaced 2 feet apart, or angled apart with grilles touching. Bright, with lots of attack Pan two microphones to left and right stereo. Glockenspiel: One microphone placed 4-6 inches above bars. For less attack, use rubber mallets instead of metal mallets. Plastic mallets will give a medium attack. 9
10 Reference Inmation Glossary 3-to-1 Rule When using multiple microphones, the distance between microphones should be at least 3 times the distance from each microphone to its intended sound source. Ambience Room acoustics or natural reverberation. Leakage Pickup of an instrument by a microphone intended to pick up another instrument. Creative leakage is artistically favorable leakage that adds a loose or live feel to a recording. Noise Unwanted electrical or acoustic interference. Feedback In a PA system consisting of a microphone, amplifier, and loudspeaker feedback is the ringing or howling sound caused by amplified sound from the loudspeaker entering the microphone and being re-amplified. Frequency Response A graph showing how a microphone responds to various sound frequencies. It is a plot of electrical output (in decibels) vs. frequency (in Hertz). PAG Potential Acoustic Gain is the calculated gain that a sound system can achieve at or just below the point of feedback. Polar Pattern (Directional Pattern, Polar Response) A graph showing how the sensitivity of a microphone varies with the angle of the sound source, at a particular frequency. Examples of polar patterns are unidirectional and omnidirectional. Interference Destructive combining of sound waves or electrical signals due to phase differences. Inverse Square Law States that direct sound levels increase (or decrease) by an amount proportional to the square of the change in distance. Isolation Freedom from leakage; ability to reject unwanted sounds. Proximity Effect The increase in bass occurring with most unidirectional microphones when they are placed close to an instrument or vocalist (within 1 ft.). Does not occur with omnidirectional microphones. Rolloff A gradual decrease in response below or above some specified frequency. 10
